Moisture has been and remains the main enemy of building structures . investingheavily in the construction of real estate, you first need to take carewaterproofing of the foundation, roof, walls , basement and cellar.

Damaging effects can provide not only ground water, precipitationand atmospheric moisture, and water leakage inside the house, condensation andothers. The strength of water expanding during freezing is enormous. Frozen in the poresbuilding materials Moisture can rip them from the inside, in the literalsense. A few cycles of wet and frost cracks may be formedeven in concrete structures. In addition, the penetration of moisture in the concreteconstruction can expose reinforcement rapid corrosion thatshortens their life. In general, the negative factors that maybring a lot of moisture, now let's talk about ways to combat it. Waterproofingunderground part of the building is called - antifiltratsionnoy proofing, andmoisture protection of the visible parts of the building is called the corrosion proofing.Waterproofing materials are separated by means of complete isolation, creatinggidrobarer and piercing tools that reduce the so-calledcapillary conductivity. Further, different waterproofing for flat, plastering,okleechnoy, obmazochnoy, painting, etc. Each of these has a wholegroup of materials differing in origin and principle of isolation. Sheettight sealing means finishing metal constructionsor plastic. Basically this type of industrial waterproofing, and for privatethe builder is not well suited. By waterproofing sheet also includes roofingmaterials of metal or synthetic origin, creating an impenetrableroofing layer cake. Roll insulation provided by modernmaterials, works well with its task and is suitable for privatehousing, but requires considerable preparation of the surface.Unevenness of more than 2-3 mm - are not allowed, in addition, the surface should bedry. Before gluing or fusing roll surface waterproofingshould be primed with a special bitumen emulsion. To roll waterproofingalso include butyl rubber, and polymer membranes, which can be usedas a roofing material. But the main area of вЂ‹вЂ‹application - Sealingartificial ponds and pools. Bitumen roll materials can besuccessfully used in the device structure of the roof, insulation timberparts and insulating materials that lose property when wet,, including under-roof and on the water. The appearance of breathable membranes allow improvedprotection of roof and make it more manufacturable. Breathable membranes providewaterproof, while remaining permeable to air. To protect the foundationsbuildings have long used natural gidroizolyator - clay. Create a claybarrier thickness of 50 cm, enough to effectively cope with the security functionof water. Clay not only creates a waterproof layer, but also clogspores of the concrete, preventing thus the moisture inside. More technologicallyIsolation is a way - bentonirovanie. Special colloidal clayhaving a high sorption properties, and swelling forms a waterproofgel. Bentonite is concluded between the layers of geotextile, and used for isolationfoundation. In this 2-inch layer of clay is sufficient to createreliable waterproofing. Produce these products company Cetco (England)Akzo Nobel (Netherlands) and other manufacturers. Waterproofing barrierYou can also create and with a special plaster, composed ofpolimertsementy included. Waterproofing materials such different ecologicalcleanliness - they can cover the inside even potable water tanks.High adhesion and vapor-permeable polymer plaster makes a greatmaterial for interior decoration with high humidity. To herDisadvantages include the relative instability to mechanical stress,that can lead to loss of waterproofing properties. The most effectiveits physical and mechanical properties are bitumen-polymer and bitumen-rubbermastic. To increase strength and durability of this type of insulation usedfiberglass or fiberglass. Waterproofing can be applied and in layers, withBrush or spray. For this purpose suitable polymercompositions containing vinyl acetate polymers. Bituminous mastics, dilutedsolvent to a liquid consistency and are suitable for waterproofing paintmethod, but it is necessary to apply several layers intermittently.There is another very interesting type of waterproofing - penetrating. InUnlike all the above methods, this type of insulation preventscorrosion, and is based on the penetration into the stone or concrete substances interactingwith cement minerals. The pores of building materials that are appliedpenetrating waterproofing, filled with crystals, formed as a resulta special type of reaction. In this case the strength of brick or concrete is increased by20%, and water vapor permeability decreased only slightly. Also, the penetratingwaterproofing ability to repair itself, making it one of the mostadvanced forms of struggle with the pernicious effects of moisture.
